The Personnel Missing - Southeast Asia (PMSEA) Database was originally compiled by the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) POW/MIA Office as an ongoing effort that spanned the course of the War in Indochina. Working closely with the military services and other members of the Intelligence Community, efforts were made to keep the list updated as the losses occurred.
Following the end of the war, DIA continued to maintain the database, keeping it updated as progress was made in the accounting effort. When DPMO was formed in 1993, it absorbed DIA's POW/MIA Office and responsibility for the PMSEA database. From this database, DPMO has generated reports in a number of different formats that are intended to assist you with your research.
